FREELANCE -REPUTATION WITH GOOD LEARNING.


THEIR ARE MANY FREELANCERS AROUND. ANYBODY JOINS newspaper claims to be a freelancer..he is rather more of a photo-journalists. The important thing is that the successful freelancing is in diversification. However, there are many other aspects. Foe instance, lack of specialisation is part of a continuing challenge of freelancing. Though freelancers are not as in hurry as the photo-journalists, whom the editor is waiting for the latest photograph, powerful enough to be printed on page one.

2. EACH day can bring a new journal, a new approach and besides a wide range of market. By all means a successful freelancer has to concentrate on the successful subjects and market search. But he shd never forget to probe and search for different, new subjects with different angles and lighting. The freelancer having some experience will never plan for instant sales. An important part of his income will come from his file pictures. Which he checks every week and make a diary newpaper-wise...Accumulating lot of pictures of all and special occasions will bring forth chances of more sale. Be friend of the editor and other staff. Give them complimentary copies of their photographs from time to time. This ensures a good friendship. and a good friend in need is friend indeed. There is lot to be said on this...try & get success.
